| - I admit, I was hesitant to go here because half the reviews are stellar and the other half are not so hot. But luckily, a friend insisted on going here after his graduation when we offered to take him out for a celebratory meal.
I didn't have high hopes because of the other reviews but I never write a place off based solely on that, or even 1-2 bad experiences (we all have bad nights). Overall I was impressed the first time there and have been back several times since. We usually go during dinner time during a weekday and there was plenty of seating to choose from. The chairs and tables are comfortable and the overall layout is conducive to conversation. The walls have a sort of graffiti decor to them.
I was impressed by the sizable beer menu, and while looking it over we all picked out about 3-4 each that we would be interested in trying. We tend to do this because a large menu almost always indicates that they don't have all of them in stock, rather you have to throw out several suggestions before a place has one you want. This wasn't the case at all here, they had everyone's first choice in stock. So already, I'm happy. Our waiter was also a nice guy, quick and attentive. I don't think we even had to ask him for anything, he just knew and obliged (like when drink refills were needed, etc.).
The food was great! I've had several of their burgers and all of their specialty fries. Lord, do I love a creative french fry dish. All have been good. My favorite isn't actually a burger though, it is the buffalo macaroni with chicken. Just enough heat and great spicy flavor, I hate buffalo that is all heat and no taste. This was the perfect mix. It also reheats really well especially because their take home containers are made of foil. You can just take the lid off and pop it right into the oven the next day. The burgers are juicy but never greasy. I hate the piled high type burgers that are just plain wet and drip down your hands and wrist when you bite into them, it is gross. But Streat Burgers are juicy without the oily mess. I also get their coffee a lot, just black. It is a very dark flavor, balanced acidity. It tastes like it is perhaps made in a french press or a percolator which is refreshing, it doesn't taste like it just came from a big pot of dollar store coffee that has been out on the burner for 4 hours. Though, I've never asked them how they prepare it.
The menu is laid out well too. I guess you could maybe compare it to Happy Dog's menu where you pick out the type of meat you want, how you want your sandwich prepared, etc. working your way down the list. It allows for a lot of different combinations.
In short, I love a good burger and fries. This seems a lot like B-Spot only within walking distance of my house. As much as I love B-Spot, I usually go here now because they are just as good and much closer. They are also a bit brighter and less noisy than B-Spot which is nice for catching up with a group of friends.
